Wednesday night, in the aftermath of the blow-up regarding the White Houses email to Bob Woodward suggesting he would "regret" his reporting of sequestration, White House Senior Adviser David Plouffe took to twitter to bash Woodward as a past-his-prime hack: - See more at:

Although I have yet to ‘jump on the B Woodward’ bandwagon, I still feel he is a LIB whose task in life is/was to make life miserable for R’s in General.

The GOOD thing about this fiasco is Woodward IS a household name as ‘they’ continue to keep him in the forefront as the demise of R M Nixon was considered the ‘greatest coup’ in the history of the Republic.

As to the Bandwagon, I also trust Dick Morris about as far as I can throw him, put Greta on that list, Rivera, O’Reilly and Hannity (I couldn’t ‘take’ him from back in the days when either he or his handlers didn’t think he would/could make it without Colmes)....
Just because they are on FOX doesn’t make them a Republican, MUCH less a Conservative.

In a way Plouff is right. Woodward was never anything other than a disgusting leftist political hack pretending to be a news man. As the leftists get more brazen Woodward no longer has the stomach for his designated role as fascist lickspittle. Thus, in the only role he ever took he is becoming washed up.

I sort of agree with Plouffe that Woodward is a has been, because I think Woody is just a slo-mo mentally challenged writer who along with Bernstein stumbled into a story that all-the-liberal-powers-that-be egged on in DC at the time and brought down a sitting President. My opinion of Plouffe? Well, I’d say he’s a poofter even though he’s married.

Regardless, the establishment media would be forced to throw away their ICON of rebellion and accountability against the evil (Republican) powers-that-be.

An interesting conundrum of ideals. On the one hand, totally discredit their revisionist history wrt Nixon (and everything he wrote on Reagan and Bush(s), or discredit their “Magic Negro” [term originated by the LA Times] Obama.

In any case, we are about to find out whether the establishment liberal Media will rally behind Woody, or will they continue on as Mr. Obama’s prison b!tch where they’re certain to spend the majority of their time on their knees doing things they really don’t like.

“Although I have yet to jump on the B Woodward bandwagon, I still feel he is a LIB whose task in life is/was to make life miserable for Rs in General.”

I'll never forget the Bill Casey crap. He claimed Bill Casey took him into his confidence on his death bed. His wife and daughter said it never happened. That one of them was always in the room with Casey during his final days in the hospital.

Why he's decided to go after Obama, I don't know. Maybe he senses that Obama is finally vulnerable and the first journalists to start printing the truth will be extolled as heroes for telling the truth. Who knows. He isn't trustworthy, but it's nice to see someone from the left finally challenging some of the lies Obama tells.

Had the WH reacted by simply releasing the email exchange and explaining it away as a simple disagreement between friends, it would have all gone away, and Woodward himself would probably have backed down.

But with another WH staffer going all pit bull on twitter it will be interesting to see if Woodward lets it slide or doubles down.

It's like watching Hitler and Stalin fight each other. It's not important who wins, only that they destroy each other so much that it's pyrrhic.

Faced with the decision to stand up for an investigative “journalist” or to defend their fractionally-black socialist messiah I expect American leftists will conclude there is plenty of room under that bus for Woodward and any other heretic who dares stray from the tenets of their secular religion.

who knows what the future holds. obama looks undeatable right now. Nixon looked even stronger after his re-election. Nobody looking at Nixon in February 1973 would have dreamed that he'd be gone and in disgrace less than 2 years later. We'll see where the Lord of the Flies ends up.
